The inaugural West Midlands mayoral election will be held in May 2020 to elect the Mayor of the West Midlands (subsequent elections will be held every four years afterwards).
The position of Mayor of West Midlands was created in 2017 following a devolution deal between the UK government and the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA).
The election uses a supplementary vote system, in which voters express a first and a second preference of candidates.
This means that the winning candidate has the support of a majority of voters who expressed a preference among the top two.
All registered electors living the metropolitan boroughs of Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall, and Wolverhampton aged 18 or over are entitled to vote in the mayoral election.
